Smart, regular care and upkeep will keep your area rugs looking great, and your home looking as beautiful, stylish and unique as ever. Check out the following advice and be a little smarter about smart and stylish, colorful and captivating, area rugs.
- Don’t avoid walking on your area rugs!
- You should vacuum or sweep your rug as you would wall-to-wall carpeting.
- Rotate your rug 180 degrees every few months, or every year, depending on traffic patterns.
- All parts of the rug should be exposed to an equal amount of traffic so that the pile wears evenly.
- A water spill should be dried immediately with a hairdryer set on a warm temperature.
- Have your rug washed by a professional every 2 to 5 years depending on the amount of traffic on the rug.
- Do not take your rug to general carpet-cleaning companies.
- Consult with your retailer about the proper padding to be placed under your rug.
- If the rug is to be stored for a long time in a place without exposure to light or air, first vacuum or broom it.
- When considering repairing a rug, factor in the cost of repair in comparison to the value of the rug.
